to be dreaded. However, great crowds
made their way from early morning toward
the capitol to view the remains of the dead
statesman, and the time of the lying in state
was too short to give an opportunity for all
to pass by. AT II O'clock the doors were
closed to the general public, and, while two
ranks of Grand Army men filed on either
side of the bier, the undertaken screwed

and an immense representation Of the
badge of the Fifteenth army corps. Two Or
three hundred additional chairs had been
arranged in rows for the accommodation of
those who had been invited to do honor to
the deceased. Senators came in singly or

officers Of that body, and were conducted to
their seats in the rear of the chamber. The
members of the diplomatic corps, many OF

to seats upon the right. and behind them
came the representatives Of the adminiStra-

and Attorney General Garland, who were
placed in the front row upon the right.
The president was not able to be present.
for, although in better health than yester-
day, his physicians had cOunseled him not

The chair assigned him was left
vacant. The galleries were thoroughly
filled. though thanks to the admirable
police arrangements, planned by the
sergeant-at-arms and carried out by his
deputies and assistants there was no crowd
ing and nothing occurred to mar the pro-
ceedingS. The seats reserved for the family
of the president were occupied by Mrs.
Cleveland, Mrs Folsom, Mrs. Villas Mrs
Manning and Mrs. Lamont. At II o'clock
